    Abstract: A guide wire holding apparatus includes a tray, one or more raised corrugated areas, a fluid source, a syringe, a valve, a drainage system, and one or more coupling devices. Each of the one or more raised corrugated areas is located on the inner surface of the tray and includes one or more slots. A reservoir is formed by the inner surface of the tray and the tray end caps. A flow of fluid provided by the fluid source or the syringe and controlled by the valve partially fills the reservoir. The height of the fluid in the reservoir is partially controlled by the location of the cap hole. Preferably, the cap hole is located at a height that causes the guide wire, which is shown resting in a slot formed in the one or more raised corrugated areas, to be slightly submerged when fluid is flowing from the fluid source or syringe to the drainage system.

    Abstract: A briefcase for a computer includes a first compartment for carrying the computer and peripherals. The first compartment includes a cover which has a hinge mechanism intermediate said cover. The computer briefcase also includes a second compartment attached to the first compartment. The first compartment is accessible from the exterior of the computer briefcase. In other words, the access can be gained to the computer and its peripherals by leaving the computer within the case and opening a cover. The cover is hinged so that the top of the first compartment does not extend above the top of the opened computer. The briefcase also includes a sliding drawer that advances the computer toward the user without having to move the briefcase itself, such that the computer lid may be opened on an airplane. The briefcase also includes a holding mechanism for holding the computer within the first compartment. The computer briefcase can also be part of a luggage system. The bag for holding a computer includes a first portion of an attachment mechanism attached to the exterior of the bag for holding a computer. The first portion of the attachment mechanism can be attached to another briefcase or to a hanging bag.

    Abstract: There is described method and apparatus for taking a biopsy wherein the apparatus is formed of a biocompatible cylindrical member with an outer wall and a hollow core, the cylindrical member having a longitudinal axis. An opening in the outer wall of the member is provided and a cutting device cuts tissue entering the opening as it travels along the opening. Cut tissue is treated with a coagulating agent or member so that the coagulation occurs concurrently or just after the tissue is cut wherein the coagulation occurs at a trailing edge of the opening as it travels.

    Abstract: A surgical method and apparatus for accurately aligning the trajectory of, guiding of, and introducing or withdrawal of an instrument is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base which has a movable member movably attached to the base. The movable member has a passage therein which forms a portion of the trajectory path. A positioning stem further includes a first locator and a second locator. The first and second locators are associated with two different portions of the positioning stem so that they are essentially two points on a line. The first and second locators are also locatable by a scanning or imaging system. The positioning stem is removably attached to said movable member and used to position the movable member. Moving the movable member also moves the passage therein to different trajectories. Once the passage within the movable member more or less is aligned with a target within the body, a locking member locks the movable member into a fixed position. The movable member can be moved to different trajectories using a first hydraulic system. A second hydraulic system can be used to introduce or withdraw an instrument to or from the patient. A mechanical advancement tool can be substituted for the second hydraulic system. The surgical instrument may also be provided with a remote portion for controlling the instrument from a remote location. The instrument can also be computer controlled.
